Meet Johnna Colbry, Wife of Pastry Chef Duff Goldman
Pastry chefs Duff Goldman and Johnna Colbry have a heartwarming yet modern story, and unlike many long-term relationships these days, it started on the dating app Tinder. The two met on Tinder in 2016 and instantly bonded over their shared love of art and desserts.
It only took them a short walk to realize they were in love.
About two years into their relationship, the talented chef unexpectedly proposed to Johnna, who was completely unprepared. Duff claims that it came to him; in fact, he was shaving in the tub when he suddenly realized how much he loved her. Hours later, at an Easter dinner with Johnna’s family, he proposed, after first consulting her mother. Johnna said yes, saying she loved him as much as he loved her, and Duff happily shared the joyful tribute on Instagram.
Their engagement came about a year before the wedding, when Duff popped the question in April 2018 on a whim after having a premonition about Johnna. “It was weird. I was in the shower, I was shaving my head, and I felt like I got punched in the heart. It was like, ‘Boom! I really love this girl, I need to marry her,'” The trump card of the cake the star shared with PEOPLE.
There was no diamond ring for Johnna because he wasn’t planning on proposing at the time. The Food Network star decided to wrap her finger in twine instead. In the Instagram caption, he apologized for not having the authentic item and hoped she wouldn’t mind the butcher’s twine. The glamorous couple later tied the knot in January 2019 at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles after Johnna chose “a really simple, beautiful, thin ring.”
“I told her she could choose any ring she wanted and she chose a thin ring, very simple and beautiful,” he said.
Duff, a chef and foodie, made sure the ceremony included baked goods; they were shaped like cakes, one of which was made entirely of meat. They were planned by Duff and his team and were the much-anticipated highlight of the small ceremony. After the ceremony, which was arranged by celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss, Duff and his wife immediately headed to Thailand to begin their honeymoon. The couple were quite excited about the two-month trip around the world that would be the second part of their honeymoon.
The newlyweds recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary. In his congratulatory post, the master baker wrote, “Happy muffin anniversary. You are the best mom in the world… to Josephine and me! I love you my little girl.” His wife, Johnna, commented on the post. He wrote, “I love my family so much huurrtttsss 😭😍❤️.”
Johnna also took to IG to celebrate her third wedding anniversary. She wrote a simple post, “Meat pies actually exist. 1.19.19.”
